On July 28th, Mommy, Daddy and Imaya went to go see Dr. Cook for Imaya's one month appointment. Daddy had CQ the night before so he was able to go with. We were so excited to spend the day with daddy! Imaya weighed 9 lbs. She is in the 50th percentile, meaning that 50 percent of babies the same age and gender as your baby weigh within the same range.
Imaya is now 19 inches long, which is the 60th percentile.
It really doesn't matter what percentile Imaya falls into. What doctors are generally looking for on a growth chart is that baby stay relatively consistent in their growth pattern. Imaya was in the 50th percentile for height and weight when she was born. Therefore, her growth is normal at this point. According to her birth weight and height, Imaya should gain 9 1/2 lbs the first year and grow 6 1/4 inches. We are so happy that Imaya is doing so well. We are so blessed to have a healthy, beautiful baby girl!

In addition to her scheduled checkup, Imaya received her 2nd HBV (Hepatis B) shot. We aren't sure if it bothered her or not, because she was already crying before the shot was administered. I had to interrupt her feeding for the checkup, therefore, she was not a happy camper! Hepatis B protects against the hepatitis B virus, which attacks the liver. There are three doses: at birth, between 1 and 2 months, and between 6 and 18 months.
